Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the Law of Sines, which states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle.

We know that DF = 13 cm, ∠EDF = 37 degrees, and ∠DFE = 68 degrees. We want to find the length of DE.

First, we can find ∠DEF by subtracting the other two angles from 180 degrees (since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees):

∠DEF = 180 - 37 - 68 = 75 degrees

Now we can use the Law of Sines to find DE:

DE/sin(∠DEF) = DF/sin(∠DFE)

Plugging in the known values:

DE/sin(75) = 13/sin(68)

Solving for DE:

DE = (13/sin(68)) * sin(75)

Using a calculator to find the sine values and perform the calculation, we find that DE is approximately 13.6 cm. Rounding to the nearest cm, DE is approximately 14 cm.
